Club Outing January 3rd 2010

Ladies and Gents – the first club outing for the 2010 season will be to the Blue Lotus Water Gardens in Yarra Junction.  We will go there on Sunday the 3rd of January and aim to be there at 10.30 am.  Rosie and I have not been here ourselves but I know many club members have.

What to do there – Looking at the website I see the entire surroundings are most photogenic and for those of us interested in close up photography of flowers, particularly water flowers, this would be an ideal opportunity to get down and dirty and to test out those macro and close up lenses we got for Christmas!!  Maybe if I ask Peter Myers, Jill Myers, Dave Sumner or one of the other experts, nicely, to add some tips and hints to the blog site for the beginners among us before we go it would help!!

How to get there – The address is 2628 Warburton H’Way Yarra Junction; The Melways reference is Map 288-H8

Cheers, and have a great Christmas holiday season. And remember “…Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the number of moments that take our breath away”

Sunday outings this weekend

Hi Folks,

You missed a great night if you weren’t there last night. As discussed last night there will be 2 outings this Sunday.

The first will be Williamstown as scheduled. We will meet at 5:20am. Yes that’s 20 minutes past five in the morning. We will meet at the top green dot on the map attached. on the Strand opposite Ferguson St. I think we might end up at the lower green dot but we will meet at the top one.

Williamstown

The second outing is at 9am. It is at Monash Gallery of Art and I hope you will all be there to take part in their annual Masterpiece in a Day competition. Entry is $5 and the prizes are worth winning. Shooting begins at 9 and finishes at 1:40pm. Presentation will be at 3. Check out the MGA website for more details.

See you while it’s still dark on Sunday morning.
